Life is beautiful

The job promotion into training is beginning to change life in many ways.

It was my karma to do this job.

Even as a support engineer , I was spending more time on helping others, than tackling my own work.

As I am just about to complete my first off-campus assignment , I sometimes feel like a stage performer during the training sessions.

I have learnt that a little humour goes a long way in building a student-instructor rapport.

Animated expressions and antics leave a longer lasting memory than plain vanilla "stand on the stage and talk" speeches.

Slumdog

I have always complained about 'Masala' bollywood movies with same old stereotypes and storylines .
But, if you have to make Masala-ishtyle movies , you better make 'em like this one.

I got a copy of the movie just coz it was receiving rave 'phoren' reviews and expecting that this would be, again, one of those same old western-indian crossover movies.

It turned out to be one of the best Masala movies I have ever seen (although I don't see many) .
Quoting a Bollywood cliche 'Isme action hai , Romance hai , Gaana hai , Mast item hai , fullto maximum paisa wasul hai baap '

For someone who has stayed in a Mumbai slum (in an old haunting past that I can't blank out) , I can vouch for the genuineness of the sets and life potrayed. Perhaps it is that emotional connection that makes me treasure this movie.

Mordor anniversary

Just another month to go .... Yeehaa ! I will be completing one year in my current company.

Had to scrape through the last few months , twas horrible .

Now I can update my resume and post it all over the place  !! One year is a reasonable looking time in anyone's CV.

Getting a new job isn't a big deal for someone with 6 yrs of experience , but finding the right one is a dark art.

Cookie

Ah ,the naughty one . There has been no peace in this house since she has arrived . But I like it this way .

Either , one of us is running after her to wrest socks out of the hellish jaws , or we are busy trying to keep her away from gnawing something/someone else.

A vampirish smile with sweet looking eyes which are waiting for right time and right body part to pounce at. Package also features a deep growling sound with a dolby woofer enabled bass booster.

Loves plastic and suspicious looking items like fur toys, sprite bottles and electrical wires.
WTF, BOFH excuse #97 may be true after all !!! (Small animal kamikaze attack on computer power supplies)
